Ireland managed to secure a narrow victory over Italy in their recent matchup, which was seen as a challenging test for the team. Although they earned a valuable bonus point, this win leaves them in a precarious position regarding their title prospects. The team's performance highlighted issues such as breakdown struggles and lapses in finishing, which the coach attributed to mistakes. Despite these challenges, players expressed excitement about competing in significant matches and the opportunity to celebrate their performance with teammates.
"Yeah it was a tough test game, we are happy with 5 points and its up to the rest of them to do their job"
"I think they went after our breakdown and a couple of mistakes, drop balls, and lack of clinical finishing was not good enough"
"Yeah delighted to be playing these big games, delighted to be playing with three legends, we are going to celebrate with the three lads and see what happens in the next few games."
